Custom Bottle Cap Art - Green Line Flag

Commemorating All Military Branches

Artist, Zeke Crozier is a medically retired Army Staff Sergeant who served with the Kansas-based Chinook Helicopter Unit. A Purple Heart recipient, he was severely injured in a 2011 helicopter crash and worked hard to recover from his injuries and he gained a second chance at life.

"My art speaks the words I struggle to find... Sketching was something I did growing up but I have no art background. Smashing bottle caps was an exercise that allowed my motor skills to improve, an activity that came about following a significant (TBI) injury. A bottle cap can be cut, bent, and manipulated into shape. Non-toxic resin is added to secure the bottle caps and depth and also gives a nice gloss finish. This is my therapy and my outlet, and my art has given me a purpose. Gives me vision - and now I want to share that experience with others."

Handy-Cappin,' located in Overland Park, KS, specializes in custom design using bottle caps.

• Each piece produced by Handy-Cappin' is handcrafted specifically for the customer and cannot be mass-produced.
• We only use nontoxic epoxy from artresin.com and upcycled bottle caps as well as custom printed bottle caps, hand-cut and fitted.
• Each piece is unique and the customer chooses the design, colors and size.

Brian Neuwirth with Total Lending Concepts commissioned this piece and donated it to the Angel Gala. Zeke Crozier will be his guest at the gala.
